PROBLESMS
Approach to these Problems
In order to address these problems, FAP uses gender-sensitive participatory approaches to build the capacities and empower poor community members technically. With this approach, FAP expects to achieve a more equitable access to and control over natural resources within the community, reduce poverty and unemployment, reduce land degradation and the fight against climate change.
FAP focuses on the rural population of Cameroon which constitutes 80% of the total population. The reason for focusing on the rural population is because they depend on natural resources for most of their income generating activities (crop production, livestock rearing including beekeeping, exploitation of timber and non-timber forest products etc). Because of poor organization and poor management capacities of rural communities, land and other natural resources are depleting thereby rendering the population even more poorer and exposed to climate change effects.
